Chapter 4: Are You Willing To Join My Sunset Peak?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
At this moment, looking at her companions being selected by the Peak Masters one after another, even Su Yan’er was a little anxious.
After all, she was the empress.
If she really started as an outer sect disciple or even an odd-job disciple, would she be doomed?
‘Why aren’t you guys choosing me?!’
Su Yan’er was extremely frustrated.
If it was not for the fact that her memories had awakened so late, she would not have nearly failed the sect assessment.
As a result, Su Yan’er was getting angrier and angrier.
Suddenly, Su Yan’er felt a gaze.
Raising her head slightly, Su Yan’er immediately realized that the owner of this gaze was Su Xing, who was on the stage.
Su Yan’er remembered Su Xing.
After all, Su Xing had just walked past her.
However, Su Yan’er did not have a particularly good impression of this young Junior Martial Uncle.
When Su Xing passed by Su Yan’er’s side just now, Su Yan’er clearly felt that there was not the slightest fluctuation of Spiritual Qi from Su Xing’s entire body.
He was clearly an ordinary person!
He might have a little talent in cultivation, but compared to an ordinary immortal cultivator, the difference was like a firefly and a bright moon.
An ordinary immortal cultivator’s one night of cultivation was likely equivalent to two to three months of Su Xing’s bitter cultivation.
In that case, who would be able to persevere.
Naturally, giving up on cultivation and becoming an ordinary person was the wisest choice.
Therefore, Su Yan’er did not laugh at Su Xing or anything.
However, Su Xing was indeed very handsome.
Su Yan’er admitted that Su Xing was probably the most handsome man she had ever seen in her two lifetimes.
Even she, who was an empress in her previous life, had never seen such a handsome man.
Unfortunately, an ordinary person was an ordinary person.
To immortal cultivators, they had always been on a parallel path. It was impossible for them to intersect.
No matter how handsome Su Xing was, after a hundred years, he would still be nothing more than a pile of dirt.
However, when she saw Su Xing’s burning gaze staring at her, Su Yan’er became a little impatient.
‘What are you looking at?’
‘Do you think that I will fall for you?’
Su Yan’er snorted and turned her little face to the side.
The problem was that at this moment, Su Yan’er realized that other than Su Xing, all the other Peak Masters on the stage looked exactly the same.
To be able to become the Peak Master of the Mysterious Heavenly Sword Sect, one must be very old.
Even if one could change one’s appearance after reaching a certain level of cultivation, it was impossible to achieve the appearance of Su Xing, who had the temperament of an immortal.
Compared to those old men, Su Xing became more and more handsome.
He had charm and temperament.
Unfortunately, he was just an ordinary person.
The other Peak Masters were so cold that Su Yan’er had no choice but to look in Su Xing’s direction.
‘Does she actually dare to meet my gaze?’
Su Xing thought in surprise.
Su Xing could clearly sense that Su Yan’er’s eyes did not have a trace of respect.
On the other hand, the other people in the Nine Peaks Square all had a look of fear and trepidation in their eyes.
In fact, Su Xing even saw a trace of calmness in Su Yan’er’s big eyes.
‘I’m afraid this girl is not that simple!’
As Su Xing was thinking, Zhuang Changhe’s voice interrupted his thoughts.
“Martial Nephew Su Xing, it’s your turn.”
Su Xing looked at the square. As expected, Su Yan’er was not selected.
Not only Su Yan’er but many other disciples who had not been selected by the Peak Masters were dejected.
If Su Xing had not selected them, they would have been assigned to be outer sect disciples and odd-job disciples according to their strength.
However, if Su Xing had chosen them, there would still be a glimmer of hope.
Su Xing directly walked down from the stage and walked into the crowd.
Seeing Su Xing walk over, everyone cast expectant gazes.
After all, this was the last chance. Even if the Sunset Peak was much weaker than the other peaks, it was at least better than starting from as outer sect disciples or even odd-job disciples!
“I wonder how many disciples is Martial Nephew Su Xing going to choose this time.”
A Peak Master could not help but say as he watched Su Xing walk down from the stage.
“How many will he choose? If it wasn’t for Junior Sister Ling’er being forced into a corner, how could she possibly accept a disciple with her stubborn character? I guess Junior Sister Ling’er was the one who caused Martial Nephew Su Xing to replace her in accepting a disciple this time.”
“Indeed, if he would choose someone to become a disciple of the sunset peak, I would be surprised.”
“That’s right…”
The stage was abuzz with discussion. At this moment, Su Xing also directly walked in front of Su Yan’er.
The corner of his mouth revealed an extremely bright smile.
“Are you interested in joining our Sunset Peak?”
Su Yan’er could not help but subconsciously swallow a mouthful of saliva.
Her eyes were even looking at Su Xing as he blinked his eyes.
Su Xing had just walked in front of her. The charming smile that he revealed directly caused the female disciples at the side to immediately become excited.
Even Su Yan’er felt her heart race at this moment.
‘Wasn’t this fellow just a little handsome?’
‘He doesn’t have much strength’
‘Could it be that being handsome could be useful?’
‘Could it be used as a cultivation resource?’
‘Su Yan’er, you must hold back!’
When Su Xing said, “Are you willing to join My Sunset Peak?”
Before Su Yan’er could open her mouth to reply, a group of female disciples behind her said.
“Martial Uncle Su Xing, I’m willing!”
“I’m willing, I’m willing, I’m willing!”
“He’s too handsome, how can Martial Uncle Su Xing be so handsome!”
“I can admire this smile for the rest of my life!”
Su Yan’er frowned.
On the stage, a Peak Master snorted coldly.
“Right now, it’s the Mysterious Heavenly Sword Sect’s disciple acceptance ceremony. All of you are making such a racket, what kind of etiquette is this!?”
Seeing that the Peak Master had lost his temper, the square immediately quieted down.
Zhuang Changhe looked around the square and did not say anything.
However, there was still a trace of envy, jealousy, and hatred in his heart.
They were both men, but why was Su Xing so popular?
Why?
“Martial Nephew Su Xing has received Junior Sister Ling’er’s true inheritance!”
“Are you saying that Junior Sister Ling’er only chooses the best-looking disciples and not the ones with the strongest talent?”
“That’s right. Nonetheless, I almost lost my cool just now and wanted to choose the girl.”
Just as one of the Peak Masters finished speaking, everyone on the stage immediately looked towards him.
A wave of awkwardness flashed across that Peak Master’s face as he hurriedly explained.
“What I mean is, I feel that although this girl is a little weak now, she might suddenly display great strength later on. Everyone has their own opportunities, isn’t that right?”
Several Peak Masters, including the Sect Master Zhuang Changhe, all cast looks of disdain.
Did he even believe in what he said?
Moreover, to change the talent of an ordinary immortal cultivator, even if the patriarch of the Mysterious Heavenly Sword Sect came, there was nothing he could do!
“Sect Master, are we really going to let Martial Nephew Su Xing choose Su Yan’er? You should know that this disciple acceptance ceremony is very important to the Sunset Peak. The sect competition is coming soon. If the Sunset Peak doesn’t show any results, it will be troublesome!”
With his hands behind his back, Zhuang Changhe turned his head slightly and said, “Do you think that there are other people in the square who can lead the Sunset Peak to glory in the sect competition?”
Zhuang Changhe was right.
There was less than a year left until the Mysterious Heavenly Sword Sect’s sect competition.
Within the disciples who had just joined, other than some extremely talented prodigies, the other newcomers had no fighting strength at all.
However, the problem was that these extremely talented prodigies had already been chosen by the other Peak Masters.
It was as if they sensed Zhuang Changhe’s plans for the Sunset Peak. Thus, the other Peak Masters did not waste any more time.
“I’m willing to join the Sunset Peak.”
Su Yan’er said in neither servile nor rejecting manner.
